Step 1: Know Your Options before you shop for a home

Step 1 involves exploring a few items such as: ? How much of a monthly payment can you afford? ? How much will a lender loan to you? As your lender we will help you through the different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Based on standard lending guidelines, we will best determine what kind of terms and loan programs you can expect to be most beneficial for you. ? How much am I comfortable spending on a monthly basis? ? Do I have enough money for a down payment? ? How long do I see myself living in the new home? ? What type of loan best suits my needs? By having a brief conversation, we will give you a good idea of how much home you can actually afford and what to expect from the loan process.

DESCRIPTION

CONVENTIONAL FIXED RATE

CONVENTIONAL ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE (ARM)

100% FINANCING SOLUTION (NO-MONEY-DOWN)

FHA/VA

A mortgage with an interest rate that remains constant over the entire life of the loan. Generally requires a down payment of at least 3% to 5% of the purchase price and will likely require private mortgage insurance (PMI) if down

payment is less than 20%.

A mortgage with an interest rate that is fixed for a specified period

of time (3 - 10 years) and then adjusts to the current market rate for the remainder of the loan. Usually requires a down payment of at least 10% and will likely require PMI if down payment is less than 20%.

A special Congressional Federal solution that allows borrowers with strong credit but lack savings for

a substantial down payment to experience the benefits of home ownership sooner. Structured as a combination of a first mortgage and a home equity loan/line of credit. No

PMI required.

Loan programs that are backed by government insurance.

FHA and VA offer solutions to those who may not qualify for conventional options but carry a

large insurance premium.

BEST FOR

Borrowers who plan to stay in the home for a long time (at least 10 years); Borrowers who want the comfort of knowing their rate will

never adjust

Borrowers who intend to live in the home for a shorter period of time (less than 10 years); Borrowers who are comfortable with risk and want

to minimize their rate

First time home buyers who have a job and good credit but do not have

the funds for a down payment

First time home buyers who may have less than perfect credit; Veterans

ADVANTAGES

Stability; Peace of mind

Generally carries lower rate since rate is only fixed for set number of years; Allows borrower to pay only for rate security needed based on

their plans

Allows borrowers to buy a home now instead of waiting to amass enough

funds for a down payment

More forgiving of small credit "dings" than conventional

programs; Low down payment requirement (0% to 3.5%)

DRAWBACKS

Usually carries a higher rate since you are paying extra for rate

security. Most people don't stay in the same home or loan (without

refinancing) for the entire 30 years meaning they are paying for rate security they will never need.

Once the fixed period expires, the interest rate could adjust upward if

market rates are high

Not available with 30 year fixed rate mortgages; No down payment means

borrower will have minimal equity if they need to sell the property

unexpectedly in the first 1 - 2 years

Requires substantial upfront premium at closing (1.5% to 2%) in addition to monthly insurance

premiums; Fewer product options than conventional; Turn

times can be slower
